John Mellencamp To Washington Lyrics

To Washington Lyrics

Eight years of peace and prosperity

Scandal in the White House

An election is what we need

From coast-to-coast to Washington



So America voted on a president

No one kept count

On how the election went

From Florida to Washington



Goddamn, said one side

And the other said the same

Both looked pretty guilty

But no one took the blame

From coast-to-coast to Washington



So a new man in the White House

With a familiar name

Said he had some fresh ideas

But it's worse now since he came

From Texas to Washington



And he wants to fight with many

And he says it's not for oil

He sent out the National Guard

To police the world

From Baghdad to Washington



What is the thought process

To take a humans life

What would be the reason

To think that this is right

From heaven to Washington

From Jesus Christ to Washington
